Windows XP & SSD's don't always enjoy eachother's company

my sister suggested I get one of those service subscriptions for 24/7 computer assistance since I have been spending money left and right on my crappy old PC. I was doing some research and found an article in PC MAG about this one called LiveTech. It's not the cheapest subscription but it sounds like I would still end up saving money on a yearly basis since they "give your computer an initial diagnostic and fix any problems found. Then any time you need tech help, day or night, you can call on them. They'll get your printer installed, clean up pesky malware problems, optimize your PC's performance, and more…"
Anyone have a service like this and if so, did it actually save you money and headaches or not? |

Buy a Mac. And I'm not kidding. And no I don't like macs.
But there's not much you can do wrong with a Mac.

Since it seems obvious that money is a factor here, if I were you, I'd start using the resources freely available to you before defaulting to a paid service. If you have specific questions, they can be asked at any of the many computer forums on the web, and even here, in this thread, where our technically-minded members have been helping solve problems since this thread's inception. The point is, you have more options than the ones you pay for. The trade-off is that you have to work a little harder for them. It's up to you, but I would suggest the free version. Nothing wrong with a little functional education anyway. |

The main problem with Macs is that they are completely ridiculously over-priced. They are very nice-looking and very well constructed machines but i still wouldn't pay over €1000 for one (can't afford one anyway). The only other thing that bugs me about them is the OS, it's probably because i was basically raised with Windows but i've never been able to get used to Apple's OS.

I prefer PC's. I really tried macs but they're unpractical for me. Still, they're great for people who have problems keeping their PC running

It works brilliantly. Very smooth and stable. But I prefer a system that I can alter so it works like I want it to. Mac OS is very intuitive, but I'm not .
